I MUST congratulate those who had the courage of their convictions to vote Brexit on Thursday.
I know it was a hard decision for some made after considerable agonising and others faced opposition from friends, colleagues and relatives.
But, even after the furore that has now exploded, I can assure them it was definitely the right choice and once the dust has settled they will see that.
My thanks also go to the hard working campaigners – from across the political spectrum – who fought for leaving the EU and refused to be cowed by project fear.
It was a democratic election and it goes against those principles to even countenance the prospect of a second referendum being demanded by sore losers.
What we need to do now is move forward – together – for the best of our country, free once again to make our own laws and control immigration.
